SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING.
In case of a failure whilst under warranty we will collect the humidifier from you for repair/replacement, therefore please save the packaging and keep it safe away from children. When you do dispose of the packaging please recycle.

WARNING
This appliance is intended for use in a domestic environment only. Any other use is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause fire, electrical shocks or other injury to person or property. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

1. Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug, after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return to an authorized service facility for examination and repair.
2.  This unit should always be kept in an upright position to avoid any damage. Locate the unit on a flat stable surface.
3.  Check the incoming voltage to ensure it matches the units rated specification before operating.
4. Operate this unit in an ambient temperature between 5°C and 37°C.
5. Ensure that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked or covered.
6. Do not place the unit too close to curtains or other objects – min 30cm.
7. Don’t let the mist blow directly onto a surface to avoid damp and mould growth or damage to electrical items.
8. Never place anything on top of the unit and do not cover with any kind of material while in use.
9. This product is intended for domestic and light office use ONLY and not for commercial, industrial or outdoor use.
10. To protect against electrical shocks, do not immerse unit, plug or cord in water, or spray with liquids.
11. Never unplug the power cord without press the “Power” key to off first, as this could damage the unit.
12. Always unplug the unit when not in use or moving location. To disconnect from the power supply, grip the plug and pull from the power socket. Never pull by the cord.
13.  Always empty the water tank and dry all parts before storing the unit away.
14. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children and pets.
15. Do not run power cord under carpeting, or cover with rugs or runners. Arrange the cord away from areas where it may be tripped over.
16. Never operate or store the unit in direct sunlight, the plastic is likely to discolour.
17. To repair the unit, take it to a qualified service engineer. Repairs carried out by unqualified people may cause damage to the unit or injury to persons or property and void the warranty.
18. Where possible, avoid the use of an extension cable as they may overheat and cause a risk of fire. Only use an extension cord after ensuring it is in perfect condition. Extension leads can also cause voltage drop which will affect the humidifier.
19.  Do not use the unit without the air filter as this will allow dirt to gather inside the humidifier and could invalidate the warranty.
20. Check the water and air filters regularly in order to keep it clean. A dirty air filter will restrict the air flow into the machine which will increase the resistance on the fan and could result in damage and might invalidate the warranty. If you do not clean/change the water filter often enough then small particles of limescale (as a white dust) will appear in the mist and land on surfaces in the room.

BS PLUG WIRING

THE CONTROL PANEL

The buttons on the control panel from right to left are

Power
Press once to turn the humidifier on, press again to turn it off

Output control
Press to cycle through the three outputs – Low/Middle/High. High puts the most moisture into the air and low put the least.

Warm Mist
Press to pre-heat the water before it is humidified.

Humidistat
Allows you to set a target relative humidity at which the humidifier will turn off and then back on again when the relative humidity falls below that set point.

Timer
Set to turn the humidifier off after between 1 – 9 hours use.

Sleep Mode
Press to turn the display and tank back light off (after about one minute) and the humidifier will try to maintain a relative humidity of 65 – 70%rh. Press the button again to return to normal operation.

Fan
 When pressed the fan turns on and the green light at the top right illuminates. The fan has three effects, the mist is projected further into the room, the ionizer is turned on and the room air is drawn into over the HEPA and active charcoal filters which all will help to purify the room air.

UNDERSTANDING AND USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

How does an ultrasonic humidifier work?
High speed vibrations inside the humidifier create tiny water particles that are blown into the room from the top of the humidifier.

What relative humidity should I set?
For most people a relative humidity between 40 – 60%rh is fine. You don’t want to take the relative humidity much higher than 60%rh because mould could form quite quickly.

How do the fan and filters help?
The fan pushes the moisture further into the room and draws air across the HEPA filter and the Active Charcoal filter as well as activating the ioniser. A HEPA filter removes particles from the air, active charcoal filter removes smells and the ioniser helps to clean the air by pulling dust particles to the ground.

Is it expensive to run?
The humidifier uses about 30 watts in normal operation and about 70 watts in warm mist mode with the fan on. So no more than a couple of light bulbs.

What is the humidistat?
Just as you have a thermostat that you set on your central heating you have a humidistat on your humidifier. This will allow the humidifier to turn off and on as required without you having to worry about it.

Should I turn the humidifier on for just a few hours a day?
No just let the humidifier’s humidistat decide when to humidify and to turn off.

Will it help with dry skin?
A humidifier will increase the relative humidity in the room, which will prevent the air from drying out and your skin and throat should not feel dry and you should find that you get fewer static shocks in that room.

Can I use it in a baby’s room?
There is no reason why the humidifier cannot be used in a baby’s room. As you would do with any other electrical appliance just make sure that the humidifier is safely out of reach. Don’t allow the mist output to fall directly onto the baby because this will cool the baby down and babies are not great at regulating their body temperature.

HUMIDIFIER SETUP AND USE

• Place the humidifier in an upright position on a stable, flat surface.
• Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away from a wall or furniture. Do not allow the mist to blow directly onto furniture, surfaces, ceilings or walls.
• Always unplug the humidifier before you remove or refit the water tank. Water is likely to drip from the tank whenever you remove it.
• Ensure the tank is correctly fitted, if the tank is empty or is not in place, the “Empty Tank” light comes on, an alarm will sound and the humidifier will turn off.
• Do not use with softened water as you may find that it leaves sodium deposits from the water softening process within the room.
• Those in hard water areas might like to use filtered, distilled or cooled boiled water instead of tap water.
• If you are unsure if your water is hard you can check with your water supplier via their website or their customer service department.
• Important: Soak the water filter in tap water for 2 hours before inserting it into the humidifier. This helps to activate the filter for it to work at maximum efficiency.

To operate safely

• Do not insert small objects into the unit or this will damage it and cause a hazard.
• Do not remove the tank when the humidifier is running or water may leak.
• Minimum operating condition 5°C to avoid the water from freezing.
• Do not add water that is above 40°C.

Aroma tray
Your Meaco Mist deluxe includes an aroma tray at the bottom left of the humidifier. Push the tray gently inwards and the tray will pop out. Add a few drops of your favourite fragrance and this will be circulated into the air when the fan is turned on.

ATTENTION

• Never  trap the power cord or allow it to come into contact with sharp edges.
• Always unplug the mains cable from the wall socket when removing or replacing the water tank.
• Failing to follow the instructions may lead to the guarantee becoming void.

Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the device is extremely dirty, use a mild cleaning agent. Wipe the humidifier with a slightly damp cloth. Never spray the device with water.

The air filter

When used regularly, the filter may become clogged with dust and particles. Therefore the filter should be cleaned at least every two weeks.
Follow these steps:

1. Unplug the humidifier from the mains and lift off the water tank. The air filter holder is kept in place by two screws.
   Once removed it can be lifted upwards. For cleaning or replacement.

2. Clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner or with a mild solution of washing up liquid. Make sure that the filter is rinsed, drained and dried before putting it back in the humidifier.

Calcium Deposits

Every 2-3 weeks (more often in hard water areas) unplug the humidifier and wipe away any signs of scale or mould and rinse out the tank.

The water filter (see photo on page 2)
The water filter is there to protect the humidifier from the limescale that comes from hard water and will prolong the life of the humidifier and will stop the white dust from the limescale from being blown into the room with the humidified air. Depending on how hard your water is you may have to change your water filter every few months, the harder the water the more often you have to change the filter. Customers with very hard water might find it better to use boiled water that has been allowed to cool or distilled water. Those in soft water areas will find that their filter will last a lot longer. You can check on the performance of your water filter by placing a piece of dark paper or card in the mist. If calcium deposits are starting to build up then these will appear on the card and in the form of a white dust, this will give you an early indication that you need to change the water filter.

Important: Soak the water filter in tap water for 2 hours before inserting it into the humidifier. This helps to activate the filter for it to work at maximum efficiency.

Never Use the Device without the air and water filters.

Storage

If the machine will not be used for a long period of time, take the following steps:

1. Remove the plug from the socket and empty the container. Dry the water container and the inside of the humidifier completely.
2. Clean and dry the air filter.
3. Store the device in a dust-free location away from direct sunlight, preferably covered with a sheet of plastic.
4. Never leave the unit with water in it in a room whereby the temperature will fall below 0°C to prevent the water from freezing.
